Dramatic Works

I have written a significant number of short screenplays and two full-length screenplays, one of which was produced. In addition, I had a children's animated series titled 'Calliope' go in and out of pre-production several times. I wrote a series bible and wrote a number of scripted plot beats for the show. Below are samples of writing that reached production and or publication. ​

The screenplay to 'Beyond the Mainstream'

I was the main screenwriter on the feature film 'Beyond the Mainstream' written from a story by Sal Monaco, and written with substantial contributions from Alan Katerinsky. The film premiered at Buffalo's Market Arcade cinemas opposite 'Iron Man 3' on May 8, 2013. What a rush that was.

The screenplay file below is labelled the ''Final Pre-Shooting Draft of Beyond the Mainstream'. After shooting started I wrote another scene, although the director did a better job than I wrote on the addition. After shooting was done, I wrote some radio voiceovers. I'm comfortable omitting them from this sample.

The script of a one-act play titled 'King of the Forest'

The except below is part of a full-length stage play titled 'Bad Connections' by Alan Katerinsky & Herb Kauderer. The play received a staged reading, and the excerpt below was published. So far, further performance has not been pursued as the authors have been inundated with other life adventures. I am happy to bring part of the play back here. I note that Alan was a minor collaborator on 'Beyond the Mainstream'. On 'Bad Connections' he took the lead, and I believe the majority of the short play below is his work.
